Series documents the activities of the county health and human
services programs operated by the county. Series includes

adult and family services; women, infant, and child (WIC)
services; alcohol and drug abuse; and developmental disabilities.
In 1994 the name of the Children and Youth Services Commission was
changed to the Commission on Children and Families.

As of 2013, Klamath County no longer provides mental health services. Related functions are now provided by the State of Oregon. Records listed as being at the Mental Health Center Office are scheduled to be stored in the county's Government Center Human Resources Department basement storage room. The board of county commissioners acts as the board of health as needed.
